Guess I really wasn't feeling it today...

1013mm · 03-26-2009, 04:39 PM

So last night I had all these ideas of how I wanted my photos to turn out today. However out of the 56 photos I took only 1 came out just OK.... on top of this frustrating morning the wind blew over some of my equipment and bent one... sigh well whatever.. I'll have more chances. Here's the ONE photo that turned out alright...

Took a joy ride afterwards to let out some frustration...

haahah I would have liked to do 200 but I dont have enough time to batch process that much, I used to when I was still in school

there was once I had a batch of 635 all raw..... that sucked lol

I also didn't want to get caught by security since setting up everything is like setting up a snipers camp out at least in the movies

good looks buddy

btw if you ever feel like you had a bad day, just look at the car you drive. works every time for me. for serious.

jmr_70 · 03-26-2009, 06:33 PM

I like how the monaco really comes out in that pic. Most of the pics of my monaco blue 135i look really dark.

An easy way to make monaco or dark colors to pop out is to choose contrasting background colors...

When I got back from Amsterdam for Spring Break I had something like 1,200 RAW's to go through.....Tedious.

ptack · 03-26-2009, 07:33 PM

Hey, there are a lot of photographers who don't get 1 good shot out of 1000. You're way ahead of the game. Keep em comin.

Although its backbreaking bring a notebook if you have one makes the job a lot easier. I tugged my notebook and my gear all over china for a month and was working on well over 6000 photos haha. TOTALLY SUCKED.....

To be honest I dont have a top ten because I always think I can do it better next time. I am my toughest critic and being that I'm pretty stubborn makes it worst. Just to show you guys how stubborn I am take a look at these two photos that I have since printed and hung in my room as 20 x 30 posters.

Hong Kong 2007

Hong Kong 2008

It was the same exact place BUT a year apart. That's because I went back home, didn't really like the first one then bought another plane ticket back to Hong Kong just to take the SAME photo at the SAME spot.... that's how I am

hehe I even bought a better and more expensive lens just to take the second photo...

Another one as extra...
